Wormholes connect distant regions in a region in space-time which has a negative curvature, which can be kept open using matter with negative energy density. According to Professor Hawking, observations of the Universe have shown that it is not sufficiently warped, leaving only the third possibility valid - wormholes. In the bestselling book “A Brief History of Time” by the late Stephen Hawking, three means of time travel were proposed, firstly in a universe where space-time is sufficiently warped, secondly if one travels faster than light and lastly if one is able to travel through a moving wormhole.
Time travel has always captured the popular imagination.
